Any weakness?\" \"No. But I don't think there would have been anyway.\" \"Well, then, how about this?\" His lips brushed hers, his mouth teasing her lower lip, and her eyes closed and she shivered as his fingers caught her hair. And then suddenly, there wasn't any space between them. The sensation of drowning was there, but it wasn't like her strength was leaving her. It was like she wanted to be part of him. Like she didn't know or care where she ended and he began. When they drew apart, she whispered, \"No weakness.\" \"Really?\" he said. \"'Cause I'm feeling a little weak.\" She felt him smile against her mouth. And they both laughed, shook with it. Their faces were too close, noses and cheeks pressed awkwardly together, but neither one of them moved. She tightened her arms around him, and he held her just as tightly. His breath murmured against her cheek. \"You're safe with me, Mira. And I'm safe with you.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sarah Cross" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/sarah-cross/he-kissed-her-lightly-on-the-nose-and-she-laughed-blue-eyed-her-with/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/dbb/sarah-cross-12393_blue_he-kissed-her-lightly-on-the-nose-and-sh_2369042.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/dbb/sarah-cross-12393_blue_he-kissed-her-lightly-on-the-nose-and-sh_2369042.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/dbb/sarah-cross-12393_blue_he-kissed-her-lightly-on-the-nose-and-sh_2369042.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“He kissed her lightly on the nose, and she laughed.
